Professional Behaviour In Starbucks
I walked into Starbucks on Upper Street this afternoon at about five. It wasn’t busy and I was able to walk straight up to the till.
Before I knew it and without saying a word, a tall cappuccino in a mug had been placed by the till. I asked if it was for me and they said yes, as I handed over a fiver. Afterwards, I felt a bit mean, as I had just spun a five pence into the tip bucket. The speedy service deserved more.
I suppose I always have the same, so it’s easy to remember what I have! But even so, it’s rather professional behaviour.
A Cafe For Legal Henrys
I saw this cafe in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
A Cafe For Legal Henrys
What is the plural of Henry, by the way?
Haggerston Espresso Room
This cafe is close to my new doctors.
The coffee was good, but the gluten-free polenta cake was brilliant.
Look Mum No Hands
This must be the only cycling cafe in London.
The gluten-free cake was nice too. Even if the weather outside was appalling.
The cafe was very busy. It had a buzz about it too. Everybody was watching the cycling in Spain on a big screen.
An Advantage Of A Freedom Pass
I have a Freedom Pass and one of the advantages is to go places, you’ve never been before. Today I walked to Dalston Junction station and took the East London line to Brockley station.
In a way it was just to have a coffee at Brown’s of Brockley. As you can see the cafe is just by the station.
Is this an example of how new transport links create employment?
At least the coffee was worth the trip, even if I did return soon after I’d finished my cappuccino.
A Real Takeaway Cappuccino
I needed a proper coffee, whilst waiting for my new washer/dryer to be delivered. So I took a cup over to EggsMilkButter and told them to fill it.

So I ended up with proper coffee in a real mug. They said, it was good for them, as they’d outsourced some of the washing up.
The Price Of Postage Has Just Risen
I posted a letter this morning and if the cafe opposite had been open, I’d have bought a cappuccino.
The Price Of Postage Has Just Risen
They’re either shut, as it’s a bank holiday, or they haven’t got up yet!
An Excursion South Of The Sewer
I ventured well past the big sewer this morning, travelling underneath it on the Overground, through the Thames Tunnel to New Cross Gate station. The other side though, was far from dry.
Rain and Few Bus Shelters South of the Sewer
You can tell too, it’s South London, as the bus stops don’t generally have shelters. It also always rains, when I go there.
My destination was the cafe called With Jam and Bread.
With Jam and Bread in Lee Green
It was good and the gluten-free orange, chocolate and almond cake, I had with my coffee was excellent.
From my point of view, the cafe has another advatange. It has its own bus stop both ways, so is easy to get to.
A New Coffee Stall On Islington Green
I walked through Islington Green today and there is now a coffee stall at the opposite end to the statue of Hugh Myddleton.
Giddy Up Coffee Stall On Islington Green
The guy running it is Australian, so it would appear, what with my physio and the chiropodist, the area now seems to have an increasing number of businesses, with Aussies in charge.
EggsMilkButter Is Now Open
EggsMilkButter, the cafe opposite my house, is now open.
The cappuccino was excellent and the wi-fi connection was strong. Although, it is just a few metres too far away to connect to my own router, but that is down to geography and my wi-fi.
